Frequently Asked Questions

What
is Highest School?

Highest
School is an organization dedicated to making sure that our children are
exposed to all sides of scientific and
historical issues, and not condemned to hear just what an elite group of
special interests wants them to hear.

Do
you advocate that evolution not be taught in school?

No
-- we believe that all subjects must be taught in a fair and balanced manner.
Evolution belongs in the classroom as part of the family of ideas, just as
spontaneous generation, Scientology, and phrenology do.

Are
you a religious institution?

No,
we are not explicitly religious. All of the people in our organization are religious, but we do not require that they be so, and atheists
are welcome so long as they do not try to force their beliefs on those of us
with more realistic sensibilities.

We
do, however, point out that a Web site of this depth and complexity could not
be the work of random forces and therefore indicates the presence of a creator.

Who
are the forces attempting to control our children's education?

There
are many of them!

Big
business wants children to be brought up unable to think outside of what they
are told. Giving children only the "right" side of an argument in the
name of "avoiding confusion" keeps them from thinking too freely.

So-called
scientists fear that they will lose their grant money if pet theories are
questioned too closely.

Atheist
groups don't want topics taught to our children if they are "religious."
And they define anything that doesn't agree with their favored line of thought
as religious!

The
ACLU and other groups that think it's okay to burn a
cross but not to share your faith with people in your class- or courtroom.
